Bonding...

For all that matters it always boils down to the one word, "FAMILY". The bond between the members are so strong that even a wayward one is helped. Why is it that way? Ever pondered on it? Is it because one is able to associate to the family members on a metaphysical level? If so how can one explain a mother identifying her kid who was long lost? I say its a play of the genes and the mind. Mind, no matter what, can conceive, perceive whats happening around our body and can hold that information for us till we die. The required info is always retrieved when the need is real strong. Genes, I feel the electric impulse that is generated in our body synchronises at a particular wave length that ensembles the factors involved for the brain to identify the blood line on a very basic level. 

Like someone said, "Blood is thicker than water!"

Birds of the same feather...

I believe it happens only with birds. Do you concur? I have seen how men disavow each other as soon as they know that you are from the same place. That's really disheartening to know. In an alien land one would require all the support that one can get. Some of the scavengers feed on such poor souls. I wonder how they manage to sleep at night. 

Job hunting...

It is one of the most tiring and testing times that one needs to go through your life. If you have obligations, then it becomes even most testing. All your budgets and planning go out of the window. Belts need to be tightened you start looking at the price tags of items. This is the time when you really understand what is exactly happening in the real world. Do you think that if one works in a company for longer period you are set? Whats wrong in jumping jobs? A rolling stone gathers no moss, honestly speaking would you like to be clean or moss laden? Just to let you know, moss grows very slow and it takes years to get to a sizeable mass. Just like your salary if you stay in a company for long. average increase is just a mere ten percent. If you jump, such barriers are crossed on leaps and bounds. Your salary strata is higher, your lifestyle is better and your bank account is fatter. For all those who think jumping is bad, you need to try. An organisation will treat you as a furniture if you  have been with them for more than three years. So three is the motto.

Sands of time...

Nope, this is not a review of the game or the movie. I did like the movie, the game proved to be a wee bit too complicated for me. I am not into gaming so its a relief to my pocket.

Coming to the point, It has made me think, on a very strong footing as to 

Where have we reached? 

Have we embarked on this journey to oblivion? 

Are we so stuck in the past that we forget to look what we have in hand and never end up seeing the bigger picture? 

Why are we so stuck up? 

What do we get from it?

 If we can say sorry to the person we bump into the street [mind you its a total stranger] why can't we do the same at home? 

Why are we so egotistical to the ones we love? 

Why do we consider the feelings of strangers before we say something and not consider the feelings of the ones we love and love us back?

I think being materialistic has this amazing quality of diluting all our morales.

Real Steel...

People wish happy new-year and loads of love is floating around. For some I believe its the opposite. Maybe its the turn of the tide but the entire month has been disastrous. It has been a month of trials and tribulations. One after another it never stopped. And to top it all the final nail of the coffin was also hit in.

So... I told my friend. You have two choices, either you lie down and accept it as your fate or you get up and make your own fate. Donot for a second think that life will give up on you. You are up, yes, it will beat you down again and again and again but you always have a choice to stand up. Life as we all know is not a bed of roses; It has, is and always will be a bed of nails and why have not realised it? It is because we are used to the pain! Nobody can hit you like life can. He is a meanie a real meanie. The purpose of life is to beat you down to your knees and make you stay there permanently, only if you let it. Not even Mike Tyson can hit as hard as life can, trust me when I say this. So how in the world can you beat this mean machine that cannot be destroyed, the only purpose is to beat the crap out of you and which is on auto pilot? Simple, You stand up and keep moving forward. Life will hit you harder and my friend its not about how hard you can hit back its about how hard can you take the hits and still keep moving forward. Its only by endurance that one can demolish life at its own game. Eventually it will give up.

Thats what Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi did and won.
Thats what Jesus did and won.
Thats what we need to do to win.

KEEP WALKING...

Suicide...

Dedicated to all who did this...

Its a taboo subject that I am touching, but just thought I should. Why do people commit suicide? What makes them commit this act? Lots of questions popped in my head. Here I am putting up my thoughts...

SUICIDE - The act of killing oneself. 

It takes real balls of steel to do it. If you think you are a tough cookie, try taking a knife and passing it over your wrists. Some of you would have tried and I am sure you have felt that cold chill through your spine. Well well well... not as tough as you thought you were. However, this is a paradox. Yes it is! Courage is the opposite side of the coin. Suicide and courage are two sides of the same coin. I did read somewhere that suicide is gods fastrack way of graduating human beings. With the current rate of suicide on a steady rise; it makes us wonder. Whats god upto? Why is he making people commit them? Do you think its the devil? As per Catholics, it is a sin to take out ones own life. They feel that only god is permitted to call us back to his abode. But, what if there is an emergency and god wanted you ASAP and it is he who made you commit suicide? You have a special talent and god is in desperate need of it... Well you have no choice but to go. When the master summons we report for duty.

Tick Tock Tick...

"More powerful than all the armies of the world, is an idea whose time has come."

Aristotle had speculated that Time maybe motion. However he did also quote that the speed at which an object can travel can vary but not time. I strongly feel that he was not privy to the school of relativity. 

Is time an illusion? 

Does time hold memories?

For all that happens anywhere time has always been a silent witness. Watching nonchalantly for all that unfurls in front of his eyes. Time, as I see is, the turf where all the great battles happen. What does ETHER got to do with it would be the next elementary question. Well ether is just the venue. Like all venues it is also subject to the confines of TIME. Why do we need time? Have you thought about it? No, I am sure you have not. Time is our anchor for experiences and continuity. I am sure there are people in the world who are currently experiencing time lapse. What did I mean by time lapse? Not the usual definition. I meant to people who stay closer to the poles [Polish people, I believe are also addressed the same way] The have elongated periods of day and night as per the season. Too much sun and too much darkness will hamper you. However having sun around is ok, not the darkness. Why so? Naaa... not the vampires. All living beings of this planet are dependent on the sun for their existence. Now are you surprised why the ancient people used to pray to the SUN god.

What's in a name?

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."

There is a movie too based on this heading. 

So I believe it will be easy for you to correlate along with the quote from Shakespeare Romeo & Juliet to the heading. Your name is used by others to correlate and identify you. The name holds a lot, I have observed that for all people holding meek names their character also turns out like that. Powerful names gives powerful personality. There are paradoxes. But by and large it holds true.How does that happen? The name when repeated over and over gives the person self-confidence. He tries to learn more about the name. The origins of it. If the origin is strong then I believe that the child starts to correlate to it and starts to form his character on a sub-conscious / unconscious level.

Bliss...

Amongst the most sought after feeling by human beings is bliss. The next obvious question that pops up in your mind is' "WHAT IS BLISS?" Bliss, does it even exist? Some say they do, Other debate on his for aeons together. Let me first define BLISS. It is defined as "EXTREME HAPPINESS" How can one be extremely happy. ROFL, LMFAO are not short forms for bliss. Bliss as I define it is a state of peace / calmness that one would experience when one realise the truth. People like you and me have experienced momentary bliss, when you suddenly realise that your mind is BLANK [not the state that one goes through when you see the question paper] You feel that your mind has abruptly become quiet and calm. How does this happen? If you have observed, [if you have not,start] it happens when you are deeply engrossed in something that you forget the entire sphere of your influence. Its just you and the task. That my friend is the experience of bliss you had.

...

Simple...

Why do things have to be so complicated? Is it because they toughen you up? Is it because they give you psyche a good work out? I don't think so. Life get s complicated because we complicate it unnecessarily. Keep things simple. That which has to be hidden, do go behind it. Love and you will be loved back. If someone hates you, love him back. That will put him off track. Smile, it always confuses the enemy. They will have absolutely no clue as to why the hell are you smiling. I am sure you did have lots of moments like this

Our deepest fear...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.”

We ask ourselves
“Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about playing small so that other won't feel insecure around you

We are all meant to shine, As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; It's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we're liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

Speech from the movie "COACH CARTER"

Right of admission... RESERVED

This is a more operational aspect of hoteliers we use to safeguard ourself from unacceptable elements. Hotels are very delicate areas. The entire operation of hotels work on the fact that the egos, whims and fancies of the customers are catered to. However there is a limit to this. We cannot accept anything that is illegal, however we need to ensure that the guest are not insulted and they come back to us. Gone are the days of customer satisfaction, customer loyalty is the in thing. If your customers are loyal then they will refer you to others. No advt will help you more than the ones spread by word-of-mouth. So, in this era of cut throat competition we need them more than they need us. Also keeping in mind that the hoteliers adhere to all the rules and regulations of the land.

Sleep...

Aah... the stuff that people like to do other than Eating, Drinking and making merry. The real question that pops in my mind is "WHY DO WE SLEEP?" Have you ever thought about it? Why do we actually sleep? Is there a necessity for us to sleep? As a matter of fact there is a strong necessity for us to go to sleep. It is during our sleep that our body goes to work. What work? Repairing all the abuses that one has dished out to it. Its the same principle that works for babies too. Babies need a lot of sleep because its during sleep that they grow.

So sleep well and stay fit [exercise is not exempted]
